Pick Your Mower by Yard Size
The right Wild Badger mower comes down to yard size and how much help you want pushing it. The lineup splits into three cordless push mowers (by deck width) and one self-propelled model for larger or sloped yards.
Cordless Push Mowers (14, 16, 18 inch)
For flat yards up to about half an acre, a cordless push mower is the lighter, simpler, and more affordable choice. The 40V 14-inch push mower is the lightest and most manoeuvrable option, ideal for townhouses and compact urban lots. The 40V 16-inch push mower is the suburban sweet spot, balancing cutting width with low total weight. The 40V 18-inch push mower is the widest push option, finishing flat half-acre lots in fewer passes. All three use a 40V brushless motor with 5 height settings, which holds torque on thick grass and tall fescue where a brushed motor would bog down.
Cordless Self-Propelled Mower (21 inch)
For yards over half an acre, sloped terrain, or anyone who would rather not push a mower up a hill, the 40V 21-inch self-propelled mower is the right pick. The wider 21-inch deck means fewer passes per mow, the 7 height adjustments give finer control over cut height, and the self-propelled drive turns mowing a large or hilly lawn into a steady walk. It is the best electric self-propelled choice in the lineup for large yards and thick grass.
Find the Right Lawn Mower for Your Yard Size
Match deck width and drive type to your yard size. A wider deck cuts more grass per pass (fewer total passes), and self-propelled drive removes the effort on slopes and large lawns.
| Yard size | Recommended deck | Push or self-propelled |
|---|---|---|
| Under 0.1 acre (urban / townhouse) | 14 inch | Push |
| 0.1 to 0.25 acre (compact suburban) | 16 inch | Push |
| 0.25 to 0.5 acre (typical suburban, flat) | 18 inch | Push |
| 0.5 acre and above, or any sloped yard | 21 inch | Self-propelled |
Height Adjustment for Tall Fescue & Thick Grass
All Wild Badger mowers have tool-free single-point height adjustment (5 settings on the push models, 7 on the self-propelled). Taller grasses like tall fescue cut cleaner at a higher deck setting, and raising the deck on the first cut of the spring prevents the motor from bogging down in thick, overgrown grass.
Brushless Motor Power for Demanding Lawns
Every model in the lineup uses a 40V brushless motor. Brushless motors run cooler, last longer, and recover torque under load better than brushed motors, which is exactly what you want when the mower hits a thick patch or you are catching up after a vacation. For thick grass and tall fescue, the brushless platform is the difference between a clean cut and a stalled blade.
For yards over half an acre, the 40V 21-inch self-propelled mower is the right pick. The wider 21-inch deck cuts more grass per pass, and the self-propelled drive removes the effort of pushing on large or sloped lawns. For flat half-acre lots, the 18-inch push mower is a lighter, lower-cost option.

Any of the Wild Badger 40V brushless mowers handles thick grass well, because the brushless motor holds torque under load instead of bogging down. For tall fescue, raise the deck to a higher cut setting using the tool-free height adjustment. The 21-inch self-propelled model is the best choice for large areas of thick or tall grass.

Yes. A 40V brushless cordless mower delivers cutting power comparable to a gas mower for typical residential lawns, with none of the fuel, noise, or maintenance. Brushless motors are the key: they recover torque under load, so they handle thick grass and uneven terrain without stalling.

Match deck width to yard size: 14-inch for townhouse and urban lots, 16-inch for compact suburban yards, 18-inch for typical flat suburban lots, and 21-inch self-propelled for half-acre and larger or sloped yards. A wider deck finishes the lawn in fewer passes.

Most 40V Wild Badger mowers run 30 to 50 minutes per charge on a typical lawn, depending on grass thickness and trigger time. Self-propelled models draw a little more power because the motor also drives the wheels. For yards over a quarter acre, a spare battery lets one pack charge while the other is on the mower.
